Audits

To resolve reporting errors and omissions made by taxpayers and correct reporting habits for future returns.

If you have tax filing questions, do not hesitate to call our tax hotline at (800) 829.9188(800) 829.9188 to get situation specific answers. In South Dakota we set parameters for businesses based on industry, location, past reporting, etc. When actual reporting of sales, use, and/or excise tax varies significantly from what is expected, the license is evaluated and a decision is made on whether or not to send in an auditor. Calling the Department does not affect your chances of being selected for audit.
